For the first time in the last eight games, Baylor failed to score in the first inning and UTA took advantage by turning the tables. Against BU starter Ryan Smith, the Mavericks scored four runs on three hits and two errors in the first inning, and the Bears never recovered.

Down 5-0, BU cracked the scoreboard in the fourth. Brett Doe doubled with one out, and with two outs, Aaron Dodson drove Doe home on a single.

UTA responded with three in the fourth, two in the fifth and four in the seventh to take a 14-1 lead. Baylor rallied in the eighth but it wasn't nearly enough. Lane Kelly drew a leadoff walk. Then with two outs, Adam Toth roped an RBI double and Ben Carl hit an RBI triple.

Earning the win for UTA was Daniel Milliman (2-0), who gave up one run on two hits and one walk with three strikeouts in four innings. Smith (0-1) took the loss for Baylor after giving up six runs (four earned) on four hits and four walks with one strikeout in three innings.

TOP QUOTE
"Nobody likes games like this, and you'll have them every once in a while. UTA swung the bats particularly well. We didn't swing them bad, but we just aren't a great offensive team. We didn't pitch it well. It was just one of those nights. This is baseball. This is just baseball. You could come up with 100 reasons or excuses but it's just baseball." - BU head coach Steve Smith
